[Comparison of production costs of allogenic and autologous blood preservation].
Comparing direct, indirect and capital costs for preparing allogeneic versus autogenous blood reveals: If one applies modern blood banking (component preparation, routine safety tests prior to blood release for transfusion), supplies and reagent costs for allogeneic and autogenous units are identical, if patient needs no postphlebotomy volume replacement. Personnel costs are higher for preparing autogenous units, because patients require extra care compared to experienced blood donors and because autogenous blood inventory control takes more time. Indirect and capital costs are the same. At our blood bank, the costs for preparing a 3-unit autogenous blood depot are DM 710,42 as compared to DM 663,15 for 3 allogeneic units.
